David Duke helping would-be GOP leader
The Palm Beach Post has a charming tale of the Palm Beach GOP trying to keep the son of an ex-Klan leader from taking the spot he won on the executive committee:
Sporting a black hat, the son of former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard Don Black was seated last week in a restaurant off Southern Boulevard. Sitting next to him was one of his supporters: David Duke, former Louisiana state legislator and another former KKK grand wizard.
"We're going to fight," Duke said. "I know Derek Black is going to fight for his constitutional liberties. That's why I'm here, because I want to assist Derek."
Sorry, says county GOP Chairman Sid Dinerstein. In the qualifying period in June, Black didn't sign a loyalty oath pledging he would not do anything injurious to the party. And that's not the only problem.
"He participates in white supremacist activities," Dinerstein said. "We're the party of Lincoln. We're the party that says we don't judge anybody by the color of their skin."

From the writers of the St. Petersburg Times, The Buzz offers the latest news in Florida politics. This is a public forum sponsored and maintained by the St. Petersburg Times. When you post comments here, what you say becomes public and could appear in the newspaper. You are not engaging in private communication with candidates or Times staffers.
not surprising that this hate monger looks at both the Democratic Party and The Republican Party and decides that the Republican Party reprsents his racist hate filled, anti-minority, bigotted point of view for him to try to become apart of. That is the view the current GOP. And thanks to dimwits like Palin that was recently re-inforced. The GOP will be non-existent in 40 years with Americas growing diversity. Even if all immigration were to stop today this diversity is occuring through birth rates.....

Republicans listened and said no thanks.
We aren't fascists like the democrats who do not tolerate a dissenting opinion at any time.

WOW 4:37 - eliminate hatred (and the small minded bigotry, I assume, you think goes along with it) but use a word like mulatto?
That's surely a David Duke kind of word.

Are you kidding me? Obama pals around with similar ilk, and the media yawns. . . what a hypocrit, Adam.

Adam is one of the fascists that can't stand anyone who disagrees and covers for the bigot whom we call the president elect.
It must be a lonely little bubble you live in Adam, full of loony, left wing, nut job, propagandists.
